Volunteer with the Huni Kuin People in the Amazon Rainforest
Live a transformative experience in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, sharing daily life with the Huni Kuin people, an indigenous community living in the state of Acre, Brazil. This volunteer experience gives you the unique opportunity to learn about an ancestral culture deeply connected to nature, actively participating in their customs, rituals, and ways of life.
Volunteer Activities:
Support for community projects: sustainable agriculture, construction using traditional techniques, maintenance of community spaces.
Cultural exchange: Huni Kuin language classes (Hatxa Kuin), learning traditional songs, dances, and crafts.
Environmental education: collaboration in conservation and reforestation programs.
Guidance in sacred rituals (optional and respectful), such as the nixi pae (ayahuasca) ceremony, always with a spiritual focus and guided by the community's wise men.
What you will receive:
Accommodation in traditional homes within the village.
Food based on local products.
In-depth teachings about the Huni Kuin worldview, its ancestral medicine, and its connection to the jungle.
Requirements:
Open-mindedness, respect for other cultures, and a willingness to adapt to a simple lifestyle.
Basic level of Portuguese or Spanish (although nonverbal communication and constant learning are part of the process).
Good physical and mental health to navigate a jungle environment.
This volunteer program is not tourism: it is a call to live with ancestral wisdom, to listen to the jungle, and to return transformed.
